Tectonics, fracturing of rock, and erosion
[1] We argue that by fracturing rock, not by raising it relative to base level, tectonics plays its most important role in causing rapid incision of valleys and rapid erosion of hillslopes. Tectonic deformation riddles the upper crust with fractures, which not only provide avenues for water flow and thus promote weathering and further disintegration of rock but also fragment bedrock into debris...

متن کاملOperationalization of Sar Polarized Data for Assessment of Coastal Erosion
This study introduces a new approach for operationalization of SAR polarized data on coastal erosion studies. Polarized TOPSAR and ERS-1 data are used for this purpose. ERS-1 data was acquired on the 8 August 1993 and polarized TOPSAR data was acquired on the 6 December 1996. A quasi-linear model and a new model based on the Canny algorithm were used to model shoreline changes. Digitized vector...
